Still waiting to see this implemented but it sounds encouraging. I hope it doesn't come with a price tag attached.

Still, there are challenges ahead before VVC could be universally adopted. For one, VVC demands greater processing power. Its decoding process is up to 10 times more complex than HEVC. The encoding process, too, is lengthy; BBC research team tests found it took 6.5 times longer to encode VVC content than under the current standard. More powerful chips will be required to take on the task. Fraunhofer states, "The new chips required for the use of H.266/VVC, such as those in mobile devices, are currently being designed."
